[Editors] The Atlantic Tech Canon

[Elizabeth A Thomson]

Yesterday The Atlantic posted the results of a survey they conducted to determine the Technology Canon, or "the great works that deepen and broaden our conceptions not just of what technology is, but what it means."

Check it out. SEVERAL of the works, as might be expected, involve MIT or MIT researchers. For example, the list includes Norbert Wiener's "Cybernetics," Vannevar Bush's essay "As We May Think," and "The Media Lab" by Stewart Brand.

At the very least, seems to me it could make a nice Twitter feed/link for many MIT departments!
